what if i have a cold for waapa audition?
Mon, 21 Nov 2005, 02:47 pmhello,
just a quick question if i have the last of a cold for the waapa MT auditions should i tell the staff before i sing, after i sing, or should i not tell them at all?
if i should tell them how should i do it i dont want to sound like im whinging or making an excuse. but i am croaky on lower notes.
was just wondering cause have heard some people say that they are not interested in stuff like colds etc...
also, anything i could do for my voice in next 3 days to help it along?
thanks for help,
ann

I am constantly stuffed up (damn you hayfever!) so I feel your pain.
Go and get some lozenges with vitamin C, zinc and echinacea or similar, but make sure they have zinc, as they help your body fight off a cold by itself.
As for all the mucus, lots of steam and humidity (yes it's hard when it's hot but do ya wanna sing or not), hot drinks (try stick to herbal tea as normal tea dries you out too much) and there's also this great stuff called Fess that you can get from the chemist. There's no drugs in it, it's just saline nasal spray and it will flush out all the crap that's up your nose.
Other than that.... just rest and fluids and all that stuff your mum always told you.
Good luck!
